LAMINATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
Technical Field
[owl]
The present invention relates to a laminate and a method for producing it,
and precisely relates to a laminate that comprises rubber layers adhered via
an
adhesive layer formed from a specific composition, or to a laminate obtained
by
adhering a coating agent or a coating sheet containing the composition to the
surface of a rubber article.
Background Art
[0002]
Heretofore, a material having a good adhesion force to a vulcanized rubber
member is desired, but there is not known any material capable of realizing a
sufficient adhesion force. As a method of bonding a vulcanized rubber member,
for example, PTL 1 discloses a technique of surface-treating a vulcanized
rubber
member and bonding another member to the treated surface via an adhesive
therebetween.
In addition, heretofore also desired is a coating material having good
adhesiveness to a rubber article such as a tire or the like, but there is not
known
any material capable of realizing sufficient adhesiveness. As a method of
bonding a vulcanized rubber article, for example, PTL 2 discloses use of an
aqueous dispersion that contains a 1,2-polybutadiene hydroxyl group-containing
material, a liquid polybutadiene isocyanated material and a polyolefin resin
as a
surface-treating agent for vulcanized rubber. PTL 3 proposes a polymer tire
coating obtained from an aqueous emulsion that contains at least a
crosslinking
polymer base, a vulcanizing agent and a specific surfactant.
Further, PTL 4 discloses a method of decorating the side surfaces of a tire,
which comprises a first layer forming step of applying a UV-curable
thermoplastic
elastomer to the side surfaces of a tire and irradiating the applied UV-
curable
thermoplastic elastomer with UV rays to form a cured layer, and a lamination
step of applying a UV-curable thermoplastic elastomer to the formed cured
layer
and irradiating the applied UV-curable thermoplastic elastomer with UV rays to
form a cured layer, and which therefore forms a decoration of the laminate of
CA 02897484 2015-07-07

plural cured layers on the side surfaces of the tire.

Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0004]
However, in the method described in PTL 1, vulcanized rubber is subjected
to surface treatment, and then bonded to another material via an adhesive,
that is,
the method needs labor for the surface treatment. In addition, since a
polyurethane adhesive is used, the adhesion force thereof is insufficient.
In the method described in PTL 2, a polyurethane surface-treating agent
is used, and therefore the adherend is not bonded to the rubber article by
covalent
bonding, and the adhesiveness thereof to the rubber article is low.
In the method described in PTL 3, a polymer tire coating prepared from an
aqueous emulsion containing a specific surfactant is applied to a rubber
article
such as a tire or the like by spraying or brushing thereon, and therefore the
method is unsuitable for forming the coating on at least a part of the surface
of the
rubber article, and does not impart decoration thereto.
In the method described in PTL 4, a step of forming a cured layer through
irradiation of a UV-curable thermoplastic elastomer such as a (meth)acryloyl
group-having oligomer or the like, with UV rays is repeated, and therefore the
method takes a lot of labor in formation of the coating.
Given the situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a
laminate that comprises a rubber layer adhered thereto by the use of at least
one
of an adhesive capable of readily and strongly adhering to rubber, especially
vulcanized rubber not requiring any troublesome labor, and an adhesive sheet
formed from the adhesive, to provide a laminate having, as adhered to at least
a
part of the surface of an adherend, a coating agent or a coating sheet capable
of
CA 02897484 2015-07-07

imparting decoration thereto, by the use of a coating agent capable of readily
and
strongly adhering to the adherend not requiring any troublesome labor, and to
provide a method for producing these.

Description of Embodiments
[0008]
[Laminate]
The laminate of the present invention comprises a composition and a
rubber, and is obtained by arranging the composition to be in contact with the
rubber, wherein the composition is prepared by blending a polythiol compound
(A),
an isocyanate group-containing compound (B) and a radical generator (C), and
wherein the ratio of the total molar number of the isocyanate group contained
in
the isocyanate-containing compound (B) to the total molar number of the thiol
group contained in the polythiol compound (A) (isocyanate group/thiol group)
is
from 0.2 to 0.78.
[0009]
The laminate of the present invention is a laminate comprising plural
layers adhering to each other, and includes a bonded body of a rubber and an
adherend, and a rubber composite comprising a coating material and a rubber
article. Preferably, the laminate of the present invention includes the
following
two embodiments (1) and (2).
(1) A laminate wherein rubber comprises at least one or more rubber
layers, and at least one layer of the rubber layers is adhered to the adjacent
layer
via an adhesive layer that comprises the composition.
In this, the adhesive layer that comprises the composition may be formed
CA 02897484 2015-07-07

by applying an adhesive comprising the composition to at least one of the
rubber
layer and the adherend, or may be an adhesive sheet comprising an adhesive
that
contains the composition.
(2) A rubber composite (laminate) wherein rubber is a rubber article and
wherein a coating agent containing the composition or a coating sheet formed
of
the composition is adhered to a part of the surface of the rubber article.
In the above-mentioned embodiment (1), the plural layers constituting the
laminate may be all rubber layers, or may contain any other layer than a
rubber
layer. The dimension of each layer and the number of the layers may be
suitably
selected depending on the intended purpose.
In the above-mentioned embodiment (2), the coating agent or the coating
sheet in the laminate of the rubber composite may be a single layer or may
comprise plural layers, or may form a three-dimensional form. The shape of the
rubber article is not specifically defined. It will be enough that the coating
material is adhered to at least a part of the surface of the rubber particle.
[0010]
In the laminate of the present invention, it is considered that the carbon
atom in the rubber that the rubber layer kept in contact with the adhesive or
the
adhesive sheet has, or the carbon atom in the rubber component that the rubber
article kept in contact with the coating agent or the coating sheet has would
form
a carbon-sulfur bond with the sulfur atom of the thiol group of the polythiol
compound (A) that the adhesive, the adhesive sheet, the coating agent or the
coating sheet contains.
It is considered that the carbon-sulfur bond would be formed through
reaction of any other part of the polythiol compound (A) with the radical
generator
(C) to give a thiyl radical followed by reaction of the thiyl radical with the
carbon-carbon double bond existing in the rubber (rubber layer or rubber
article),
or would be formed through hydrogen-drawing reaction from the carbon-carbon
bond main chain existing in the rubber (rubber layer or rubber article) to
cause
chemical bonding of the sulfur atom of the thiol group of the polythiol
compound
(A) to the carbon atom of the carbon-carbon bond.
In particular, in the laminate of the present invention, it is desirable that
the carbon atom of the carbon-carbon double bond that the rubber (the rubber
layer or the rubber article) has forms a carbon-sulfur bond with the sulfur
atom of
the thiol group of the polythiol compound (A) that the composition contains.

[Composition]
The composition in the present invention is prepared by blending a
polythiol compound (A), an isocyanate group-containing compound (B) and a
radical generator (C), in which the ratio of the total molar number of the
isocyanate group contained in the isocyanate-Nnitaining compound (B) to be
incorporated, to the total molar number of the thiol group contained in the
polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated (isocyanate group/thiol group) is
from
0.2 to 0.78.
[0012]
The composition in the present invention can strongly adhere not only to
an unvulcanized rubber but also even to a vulcanized rubber. The reason could
be presumed as follows.
A part of the polythiol compound (A) and the isocyanate group-containing
compound (B) could undergo urethanation reaction, and the composition could be
thereby firmly cured. The other part of the polythiol compound (A) would react
with the radical generator (C) to give a thiyl radical, and the thiyl radical
would
react with the carbon-carbon double bond existing in rubber. Through such
thiol-ene reaction, the composition can chemically bond to rubber and
therefore
the composition can strongly adhere to the rubber. In particular, not only
unvulcanized rubber but also vulcanized rubber has a carbon-carbon double
bond,
and therefore it is considered that the composition in the present invention
can
strongly adhere to rubber, especially to vulcanized rubber.
It is also considered that, through the hydrogen-drawing reaction from the
carbon-carbon bond main chain existing in rubber, the sulfur atom of the thiol
group of the polythiol compound (A) and the carbon atom of the carbon-carbon
bond could chemically bond. Accordingly, rubber in the present invention may
not always have a carbon-carbon double bond therein.
In this description, the polythiol compound (A), the isocyanate
group-containing compound (B), the radical generator (C), the urethanation
catalyst (D) and the surface conditioner (E) may be referred to as a component
(A),
a component (B), a component (C), a component (D) and a component (E),
respectively.

[0040]
<Amount of Each Component>
The ratio of the total molar number of the isocyanate group contained in
the isocyanate-containing compound (B) incorporated to the total molar number
of
the thiol group contained in the polythiol compound (A) incorporated
(isocyanate
group/thiol group) is from 0.20 to 0.78. When the ratio (isocyanate
group/thiol
group) is less than 0.20, then the composition could not fully and firmly cure
and
the adhesion strength thereof would be small. On the other hand, when the
ratio
(isocyanate group/thiol group) is more than 0.78, then the thiol-ene reaction
could
not sufficiently run on between the thiol group and the carbon-carbon double
bond
of a rubber member since the amount of the thiol group is insufficient and, as
a
result, the composition could not be firmly adhere to the rubber member and
the
adhesion strength thereof would be small. Consequently, the ratio (isocyanate
group/thiol group) is preferably 0.30 or more and preferably 0.70 or less, and
is
preferably from 0.40 to 0.70.
Here, the total molar number of the thiol group contained in the polythiol
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
17
compound (A) to be incorporated can be calculated by multiplying the molar
number of the polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated by the number of the
thiol groups that one molecule of the polythiol compound (A) has.
The total molar number of the isocyanate group contained in the
isocyanate group-containing compound (B) to be incorporated may be measured
according to the Method B in JIS K1603-1.
Further, the molar number ratio (isocyanate group/thiol group) may be
calculated by dividing the total molar number of the isocyanate group
contained
in the isocyanate group-containing compound (B) to be incorporated, as
measured
in the manner as above, by the total molar number of the thiol group contained
in
the polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated.
[0041]
The ratio of the total molar number of the radical generator (C) to be
incorporated to the total molar number of the thiol group contained in the
polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated (radical generator (C)/thiol group)
is
preferably 0.025 or more. With this, the adhesiveness of the composition could
improve. From this viewpoint, the ratio (radical generator (C)/thiol group) is
preferably 0.03 or more, more preferably 0.035 or more, even more preferably
0.04
or more. From the viewpoint of improving the adhesiveness and/or airtight
stickiness of the composition, the ratio (radical generator (C)/thiol group)
is
preferably 0.5 or less, more preferably 0.45 or less, even more preferably 0.4
or
less.
[0042]
When the radical generator (C) to be incorporated contains a photoradical
generator, the ratio of the total molar number of the photoradical generator
to the
total molar number of the thiol group contained in the polythiol compound (A)
(photoradical generator/thiol group) is preferably 0.0005 or more. With this,
the
adhesiveness and/or the airtight stickiness of the composition could improve.
From this viewpoint, the ratio (photoradical generator/thiol group) is more
preferably 0.001 or more, even more preferably 0.005 or more. However, an
excessive photoradical generator causes cost increase, and therefore from the
viewpoint of economic efficiency, the ratio is preferably 0.2 or less, more
preferably
0.1 or less, even more preferably 0.05 or less.
[0043]
When the radical generator (C) contains a thermal radical generator, the
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
18
ratio of the total molar number of the thermal radical generator to the total
molar
number of the thiol group contained in the polythiol compound (A) (radical
generator (C)/thiol group) is preferably 0.025 or more. With this,
the
adhesiveness and/or the airtight stickiness of the composition could improve.
From this viewpoint, the ratio (thermal radical generator/thiol group) is
preferably 0.03 or more, more preferably 0.035 or more, and even more
preferably
0.04 or more. Also from the viewpoint of improving the adhesiveness and/or the
airtight stickiness of the composition, the ratio (thermal radical
generator/thiol
group) is preferably 0.5 or less, more preferably 0.45 or less, even more
preferably
0.4 or less.
[0044]
When the radical generator (C) contains a photoradical generator and a
thermal radical generator, the ratio of the total molar number of the
photoradical
generator and the thermal radical generator to the total molar number of the
thiol
group contained in the polythiol compound (A) {(photoradical generator and
thermal radical generator)/thiol group} is preferably 0.025 or more. With
this,
the adhesiveness and/or the airtight stickiness of the composition could
improve.
From this viewpoint, the ratio {(photoradical generator and thermal radical
generator)/thiol group} is preferably 0.03 or more, more preferably 0.035 or
more,
and even more preferably 0.04 or more. Also from the viewpoint of improving
the
adhesiveness and/or the airtight stickiness of the composition, the ratio
{(photoradical generator and thermal radical generator)/thiol group} is
preferably
0.5 or less, more preferably 0.45 or less, even more preferably 0.4 or less.
[0045]
As an optical component, a compound containing a carbon-carbon double
bond may be incorporated in the composition. However, when the amount of the
carbon-carbon double bond-containing compound incorporated is too large, then
the polythiol compound (A) may react with the carbon-carbon double
bond-containing compound. As a result, the thiol-ene reaction between the
polythiol compound (A) and the carbon-carbon double bond in rubber would
hardly occur, and therefore the adhesion force of the composition to rubber
may
lower. As the case may be, owing to the hydrogen drawing reaction from the
carbon-carbon bond main chain of rubber by this, the reaction between the
sulfur
atom of the thiol group of the polythiol compound (A) and the carbon atom of
the
carbon-carbon bond could hardly occur so that the adhesion force of the
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
19
composition to rubber may lower. Consequently, the ratio of the total molar
number of the carbon-carbon double bond contained in the carbon-carbon double
bond-containing compound to be incorporated, to the total molar number of the
thiol group contained in the polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated
(carbon-carbon double bond/thiol group) is preferably less than 0.4, more
preferably less than 0.1, even more preferably 0.08 or less, still more
preferably
0.05 or less, further more preferably 0.01 or less.
Here, the total molar number of the carbon-carbon double bond contained
in the carbon-carbon double bond-containing compound to be incorporated may be
calculated by multiplying the molar number of the compound to be incorporated
by the number of the carbon-carbon double bonds that one molecule of the
compound has.
The molar number ratio (carbon-carbon double bond/thiol group) may be
calculated by dividing the total molar number of the carbon-carbon double
bond,
as measured in the manner as above, by the total molar number of the thiol
group
contained in the polythiol compound to be incorporated.
[0046]
As described above, the composition in the present invention may contain
any optional component in addition to the indispensable compounds (A) to (C).
However, from the viewpoint of strongly adhering to rubber, especially
vulcanized
rubber, the total content of the components (A) to (C) in the composition is
preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 90% by mass or more, even more
preferably 95% by mass or more, still more preferably 98% by mass or more.
From the same viewpoint, the total content of the components (A) to (E) is
preferably 90% by mass or more, more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more
preferably 99% by mass or more, and further more preferably 100% by mass.
[0047]
[Adhesive Agent and Coating Agent]
The adhesive agent and the coating agent in the present invention contain
the above-mentioned composition. These adhesive agent and coating agents may
contain any other component than the above-mentioned composition within a
range not detracting from the object of the present invention. However, from
the
viewpoint of favorably expressing the advantageous effects of the present
invention, the content of the composition in the adhesive agent or the coating
agent is preferably 90% by mass or more, more preferably 95% by mass or more,
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
even more preferably 99% by mass or more, and further more preferably 100% by
mass.
[00481
[Adhesive Sheet and Coating Sheet]
The adhesive sheet and the coating sheet in the present invention are
produced, using the above-mentioned composition.
The adhesive sheet and the coating sheet can be favorably obtained by
applying the above-mentioned composition, or the above-mentioned adhesive
agent or coating agent, onto a release sheet such as a release paper, a
release film
or the like and keeping the sheet form. Also the sheets may be obtained by
applying the above-mentioned composition, or the above-mentioned adhesive
agent or coating agent onto the surface of a member to be adhered, and keeping
it
thereon. It is considered that, during the keeping operation, at least a part
of the
thiol group and the isocyanate group in the composition could react through
thiol-urethanation reaction to give a sheet form.
After the coating application, this is left at room temperature and, as a
result, an adhesive sheet or a coating sheet could be favorably produced.
Also,
after the coating operation, this may be heated in such a manner that the
radical
reaction would not be started by the radical generator, thereby giving an
adhesive
sheet or a coating sheet.
From the above-mentioned viewpoints, the ambient temperature or the
heating temperature of the adhesive sheet or the coating sheet is preferably
from
-30 to 60 C, more preferably from -20 to 40 C, even more preferably from 0 to
40 C,
especially preferably from 15 to 40 C. The standing time (storing time) may be
controlled by the amount of the urethanation catalyst. From the viewpoint of
securing good operability in sheet formation and securing good maintenance of
the sheet form during adhesion operation, the time is preferably 1 minute or
more,
more preferably 3 minutes or more, even more preferably 30 minutes or more,
and
still more preferably 60 minutes or more.
For keeping the sheet form of the coating sheet, it is desirable that, after
the coating sheet has been formed, it is left in air at 0 to 60 C for 1 minute
or more,
and thereafter the coating sheet is adhered to at least a part of the surface
of a
rubber article. This embodiment enables easy handling of the coating sheet and
improves the adhering operation. The standing temperature is preferably from 5
to 40 C, more preferably from 15 to 40 C. The standing time may be controlled
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
21
by the amount of the urethanation catalyst. From the viewpoint securing good
operability in sheet formation and securing good maintenance of the sheet form
during adhesion operation, the time is preferably 1 minute or more, more
preferably 3 minutes or more. The upper limit of the standing time is not
specifically defined. From the viewpoint of storage, the time is preferably 24
hours or less, more preferably 10 hours or less, even more preferably 5 hours
or
less.
After formed, if desired, the coating sheet may be heated to such a degree
that the radical reaction by the radical generator would not occur by the
heating,
or may be photoirradiated to such a degree that the radical reaction by all
the
radical generator would not finish through the photoirradiation, to thereby
provide the intended coating sheet. For example, the coating sheet may be
preheated at 65 to 100 C for 1 to 3 minutes or so, and then the sheet may be
stuck
to at least a part of the surface of a rubber article.
After coated but before left as such or heated, the total thickness of the
release sheet and the composition thereon may be suitably selected depending
on
the object to be adhered, the desired adhesion strength, or the object to be
coated
or the desired adhesion force (coating strength), etc. The thickness of the
adhesive sheet (excepting the site of the release sheet) is, for example, from
1 to
1000 m, preferably from 10 to 300 p.m, more preferably from 30 to 200 pm. The
thickness of the coating sheet (excepting the site of the release sheet) is,
for
example, from 10 JAM to 10 mm, preferably from 20 Jim, to 10 mm, more
preferably
from 30 pin to 10 mm.
For use of the adhesive sheet, the adhesive sheet may be used after the
release sheet has been released or during the release sheet is released. The
same
shall apply to the case of using the coating sheet.
[0049]
The material of the release sheet is not specifically defined, for which,
however, favorably usable here are transparent resin substrates comprising, as
the main ingredient thereof, an organic resin, for example, a polyester resin
such
as polyethylene terephthalate, polycyclohexylene terephthalate, polyethylene
naphthalate or the like, a polyamide resin such as nylon 46, modified nylon
6T,
nylon MXD6, polyphthalamide or the like, a ketone resin such as polyphenylene
sulfide, polythioether sulfone or the like, a sulfone resin such as
polysulfone,
polyether sulfone or the like, as well as polyether nitrile, polyarylate,
polyether

imide, polyamideimide, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, triacetyl
cellulose, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or the like.
[0050]
[Coating Material]
In the present invention, the coating material may be obtained through
application of a coating composition to an adherend or through adhesion of a
coating sheet to at least a part of the surface of a rubber particle. For
producing
the coating material, a coating composition is applied to at least a part of
the
surface of an adherend, and then the coating composition is subjected to at
least
any one of heating and photoirradiation, or the coating sheet is subjected to
at
least any one of heating and photoirradiation to give the coating material.
The surface of the coating material may be further coated with a top agent,
a paint or the like for surface protection or decoration. The compound usable
as
the top agent, a paint or the like is not specifically defined, for which is
usable any
one having good adhesiveness to the coating material.
[0051]
<Rubber>
In the present invention, rubber includes a rubber layer and a rubber
article. The rubber including a rubber layer and a rubber article may be
vulcanized rubber or unvulcanized rubber. According to the production method
of the present invention, even when the rubber layer or the rubber article is
an
unvulcanized rubber layer or an unvulcanized rubber article, it may be
strongly
adhered to the adherend.
Preferably, the rubber including a rubber layer and a rubber article has a
carbon-carbon double bond. In this case, it is presumed that the carbon atom
of
the carbon-carbon double bond that the rubber to be kept in contact with the
adhesive or the adhesive sheet, or the carbon atom of the carbon-carbon double
bond that the rubber article to be kept in contact with the coating agent or
the
coating sheet would form a carbon-sulfur bond with the sulfur atom of the
thiol
group in the polythiol compound (A) that the adhesive or the adhesive sheet or
the
coating agent or the coating sheet has.
However, even though the rubber including a rubber layer and a rubber
article does not have a carbon-carbon double bond, it is still presumed that
the
intended laminate could be produced. In this case, it is presumed that, owing
to
the hydrogen drawing reaction from the carbon-carbon bond main chain existing
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
23
in the rubber, by the polythiol compound (A), the sulfur atom of the thiol
group in
the polythiol compound (A) would chemically bond to the carbon atom of the
carbon-carbon bond. However, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion
force or the airtight sticking force of the laminate, it is desirable that
rubber
including a rubber layer and a rubber article has a carbon-carbon double bond.
[0052]
The shape of the rubber layer and the rubber article in the present
invention is not specifically defined. The rubber layer may have any ordinary
sheet form or thin film form, and the rubber article may be any one having a
three-dimensional form, and may be one having a sheet form.
[0053]
The rubber material for the rubber layer and the rubber article is not
specifically defined. For example, as the rubber component, there are
mentioned
natural rubber; conjugated dienic synthetic rubber such as polyisoprene
synthetic
rubber (IR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber
(SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), butyl
rubber (IIR), halogenobutyl rubber (CI-IIR, Br-IIR, etc.), etc.; as well as
ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber (EPM), ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer
rubber (EPDM), ethylene-butadiene copolymer rubber, propylene-butadiene
copolymer rubber, polysiloxane rubber, etc. Of those, preferred are natural
rubber and conjugated dienic synthetic rubber. Two or more different types of
such rubber components may be combined for use herein.
[0054]
<Adherend>
The adherend in the present invention may be any of rubber, metal or
resin.
In case where the adherend is rubber, it may be the same material as that
of rubber to which the composition is to be adhered, or may also be a
different
material.
Also in a case where the adherend is metal or resin, it strongly adheres to
the above-mentioned adhesive. It is presumed that the thiol group acts as a
base
and could readily form a strong bond with a metal compound, and it is also
presumed that the resin compound could form a bond through hydrogen-drawing
reaction.
The composition, the coating agent or the coating sheet may also adhere to
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
24
metal or resin, in addition to a rubber article, to form a composite. The
composition, the coating agent and the coating sheet in the present invention
can
strongly adhere even to a metal surface and a resin surface.
[0055]
[Bonded Body]

than a rubber layer (for example, metal layer, resin layer, etc.).
The dimension of each layer and the number of the layers may be suitably
selected depending on the intended object.

hereinabove. The other layer than the rubber layer includes a metal layer and
a
resin layer as described above.
[0056]

The composite comprises the above-mentioned coating composition
adhering to at least a part of the surface of an adherend.
<Rubber Composite>

above-mentioned coating material adhering to at least a part of the surface of
the
adherend is referred to as a rubber composite. The rubber composite in the
present invention comprises the above-mentioned composition, coating agent or
coating sheet adhering to at least a part of the surface of a rubber article.

bonded body of rubber and an adherend, and two embodiments of the production
method for a laminate that comprises a coating material and a rubber article,
or
that is, four embodiments in total.
[0058]
In the production method for the laminate that comprises a bonded body

adhesive may be used directly as it is, or the above-mentioned adhesive sheet
may
also be used. Concretely, the following two embodiments are mentioned here.
(1) A method for producing a laminate that comprises a bonded body of
rubber and an adherend, the method comprising applying an adhesive that
contains a composition prepared by blending a polythiol compound (A), an
isocyanate group-containing compound (B) and a radical generator (C), in which
the ratio of the total molar number of the isocyanate group contained in the
isocyanate-containing compound (B) to the total molar number of the thiol
group
contained in the polythiol compound (A) (isocyanate group/thiol group) is from
0.2
to 0.78, to at least one of rubber and an adherend to give a layered body of
the
rubber and the adherend via the applied adhesive therebetween, and then
subjecting the layered body to at least one of heating and photoirradiation.

<Production Method for Laminate of Bonded Body of Rubber and Adherend (using
adhesive)>
Next described is a production method for a laminate that comprises a
bonded body of rubber and an adherend using an adhesive.
The laminate of the present invention can be favorably obtained by
adhering the adjacent layers with the adhesive in the present invention.
For example, first, an adhesive is applied to a rubber layer or to the
adherend to face to a rubber layer. Next, if desired, the resultant structure
is
kept as such for a given period of time, an adherend, or that is, a layer
except a
rubber layer to face the rubber layer or the rubber layer is brought into
contact
with the adhesive-coated surface to give a layered body. In this step, the
adhesive may be applied to both the layer except a rubber layer to face the
rubber
layer and the rubber layer. That is, the adhesive may be applied to any one of
the two surfaces to face to each other, or the adhesive may be applied to both
the
two. Next, optionally while given a pressure in the thickness direction
thereof,
the layered body is cured to give a laminate in a preferred mode.
[0060]
In the case where the layered body is kept standing as such for a given
period of time after adhesive application, the standing time is preferably
from 0 to
30 minutes, more preferably from 1 to 15 minutes from the viewpoint that the
form of the adhesive is kept as such without leaking out from the layered body
during curing.
In the case where the layered body is given a pressure, the pressure is
preferably from 0 to 5 MPa, more preferably from 0 to 2.5 MPa, even more
preferably from 0 to 1 MPa, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion force
of
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
27
the resultant body and from the viewpoint of preventing or retarding the
adhesive
from leaking out of the laminate. Also from the same viewpoints, the pressing
time is preferably from 5 to 120 minutes, more preferably from 10 to 60
minutes,
even more preferably from 15 to 45 minutes.
[0061]
In case where the adhesive contains a thermal radical generator as a type
of radical generator therein, preferably, the body is cured by heating. As the
heating temperature, a temperature at which the thermal radical generator
could
efficiently generate radicals may be suitably selected, and the temperature is
preferably around the one-minute half-life temperature of the thermal radical
generator 30 C.
In case where the adhesive contains a photoradical generator as a type of
radical generator therein, preferably, the body is cured by photoirradiation.
From the viewpoint of improving the adhesion force of the resultant body and
from the viewpoint of cost reduction, the light source to be used is
preferably at
least one selected from electromagnetic waves such as UV rays, visible rays,
IR
rays, X rays, etc.; and corpuscular beams such as cc rays, y rays, electron
rays, etc.
More preferred is use of a UV lamp. Also from the same viewpoints, the
photoirradiation time is preferably from a few seconds to several tens of
seconds,
more preferably from 1 to 40 seconds, even more preferably from 3 to 20
seconds.
The fact that a strong adhesion force can be realized even in the case
where the body is cured by heating is advantageous in that the heating method
can be employed even in a case where sufficient photoirradiation to the
adhesive
is difficult.
[0062]
<Production Method for Laminate of Bonded Body of Rubber and Adherend (using
adhesive sheet)>
Next described is a production method for a laminate using an adhesive
sheet.
The laminate of the present invention can be favorably obtained by
adhering the adjacent layers with the adhesive sheet in the present invention.
The layered body of rubber and an adherend may be one obtained using one
adhesive sheet, or using two or more adhesive sheets.
From the viewpoint of the cost and the operability of the method,
preferred is using one or two adhesive sheets. In particular, in a case where
an
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
28
adhesive sheet (A) having better adhesiveness to rubber and an adhesive sheet
(B)
having better adhesiveness to an adherend are favorably used, it is desirable
that
the layered body comprises the two adhesive sheets.
For example, first, one or more adhesive sheets are put between adjacent
layers to give a layered body. For example, an adhesive sheet is put between
at
least one rubber layer and a layer to face that rubber layer (rubber layer or
any
other layer than rubber layer) to prepare a layered body. Next, optionally
while
given a pressure in the thickness direction thereof, the layered body is cured
to
give a laminate in a preferred mode.
In the case where the layered body is given a pressure, the pressure is
preferably from 0.1 to 5 MPa, more preferably from 0.2 to 4.0 MPa, even more
preferably from 0.3 to 3.0 MPa, still more preferably from 0.4 to 3.0 MPa,
further
more preferably from 0.5 to 3.0 MPa, from the viewpoint of improving the
adhesion force of the resultant body. The other pressing condition (pressing
time) than this and the curing condition (heating temperature, heating time,
light
source, photoirradiation time) are the same as those in the above-mentioned
case
of using the adhesive.
In any operation of heating and photoirradiation, the site to be heated and
the site to be given photoirradiation are not specifically defined so far as
heat
energy or optical energy is transmitted to the adhesive sheet. Any site of the
layered body may be heated or photoirradiated. In other words, the adhesive
sheet may be directly heated or photoirradiated, or the adhesive sheet may be
heated or photoirradiated via rubber and/or adherend.
As described above, even in the case where the body is cured by heating, a
strong adhesion force is given to the resultant body, and this is advantageous
in
that a heating method can be employed even in a case where sufficient
photoirradiation to the adhesive is difficult, and is additionally favorable
in point
of easy operation since any site of the layered body can be heated and/or
photoirradiated to realize strong adhesion.

applying and adhering a coating agent that contains the above-mentioned
composition to at least a part of the surface of a rubber article.
Coating with the coating agent is attained according to the coating method
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
to be mentioned below. If desired, the coated structure is kept standing as
such
for a given period of time after the application of a coating agent thereto.
In this
case, the standing time is preferably from 0 to 30 minutes, more preferably
from 1
to 15 minutes from the viewpoint that the form of the coating composition is
kept
as such without leaking out from the composite during curing.
In the case where the rubber composite that comprises the coating
material and the rubber article, in which the coating material is formed by
applying and adhering a coating agent to at least a part of the surface of a
rubber
article, is given a pressure, the pressure is preferably from 0 to 5 MPa, more
preferably from 0 to 2.5 MPa, even more preferably from 0 to 1 MPa, from the
viewpoint of improving the adhesion force of the composite and from the
viewpoint
of preventing or retarding the coating agent from leaking out of the laminate.
Also from the same viewpoints, the pressing time is preferably from 5 to 120
minutes, more preferably from 10 to 60 minutes, even more preferably from 15
to

[0065]
<Production Method for Laminate of Rubber Composite of Coating Material and
Rubber Article (using coating sheet)>
Next described is a production method for a laminate using a coating
sheet.
In the case of using a coating sheet, the rubber composite comprising a
coating material and a rubber article may have one coating sheet between the
constituent components, but may have two or more coating sheets therebetween.
From the viewpoint of the cost and the operability of the method, preferred is
using one or two coating sheets. In particular, in a case where a coating
sheet
having better adhesiveness to rubber and a coating sheet having better
adhesiveness to an adherend are favorably used, it is desirable that the
composite
comprises the two coating sheets.
In a case where the layered body of rubber and an adherend arranged via
a coating sheet put therebetween is given a pressure, the pressure is
preferably
from 0.1 to 5 MPa, more preferably from 0.4 to 4 MPa, even more preferably
from
0.5 to 3 MPa, still more preferably from 1.5 to 3 MPa, from the viewpoint of

same as in the case of using a coating agent described hereinabove.
[0066]

In a case where the coating agent contains a photoradical generator as a
type of radical generator therein, preferably, the composite is cured by
photoirradiation. As the light, preferred is use of at least one selected from
electromagnetic waves such as UV rays, visible rays, IR rays, X rays, etc.;
and
corpuscular beams such as cc rays, 7 rays, electron rays, etc. More preferred
is
use of UV rays as the light. From the viewpoint of adhesion force enhancement
and cost reduction, a UV lamp is preferred as the light source. Also from the
same viewpoints, the photoirradiation time is preferably from a few seconds to
several tens of seconds, more preferably from 1 to 40 seconds, even more
preferably from 3 to 20 seconds.
In a case where the coating agent contains a thermal radical generator as
a type of radical generator therein, preferably, the composite is cured by
heating.
As the heating temperature, a temperature at which the thermal radical
generator could efficiently generate radicals may be suitably selected, and
the
temperature is preferably around the one-minute half-life temperature of the
thermal radical generator 30 C.
In any operation of heating or photoirradiation, the site to be
photoirradiated and/or and the site to be heated are not specifically defined
so far
as optical energy and/or heat energy is transmitted to the coating agent. Any
site of the layered body may be photoirradiated and/or heated. In other words,
the coating agent may be directly photoirradiated and/or heated, or the
coating
agent may be photoirradiated and/or heated via the rubber article. This is
because some type of the rubber article may transmit light.
The fact that a strong adhesion force can be realized even in the case
where the composite is cured by heating is advantageous in that the heating
method can be employed even in a case where sufficient photoirradiation to the
coating agent is difficult, and is additionally favorable in point of easy
operation
since any site of the layered body can be heated and/or photoirradiated to
realize
strong adhesion.
In any operation of heating or photoirradiation, the site to be
photoirradiated and/or and the site to be heated are not specifically defined

coating sheet may be directly photoirradiated and/or heated, or the coating
sheet
may be photoirradiated and/or heated via the rubber article.

the heating method can be employed even in a case where sufficient
photoirradiation to the coating agent is difficult, and is additionally

[Application Examples with Adhesive or Coating Agent in Invention]
Preferred application examples with the composition, the adhesive, the
adhesive sheet, the coating agent, the coating sheet or the laminate in the
present
invention are shown below; however, the present invention is not limited to
these
application examples.
The composition, the adhesive, the adhesive sheet, the coating agent, the
coating sheet and the laminate in the present invention are applicable to
techniques relating to printing on tires, concretely to decorative and
protective
materials for tire surfaces. Using these improves the airtight sticking and
adhesion between decorative and protective materials and tire surfaces.
[0069]
The composition and the adhesive in the present invention are usable as
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
33
an adhesive between a tread and a base tire in retreading (tread regeneration)
of
tires, especially tires for airplanes. Using these prevents sulfur transfer
from a
cushion rubber that has heretofore been used as an adhesive to a base tire and
prevents sulfur transfer from a tread to a base tire.
Further, in producing retreaded tires, the composition, the adhesive, the
adhesive sheet and the laminate in the present invention can be used. Using
these improves the adhesiveness between a tread and a base tire.
In addition, the composition and the adhesive in the present invention are
applicable to pneumatic tires having, on both sides of the tire, a pump
mechanism-having plug.
The plug is attached to the hole formed on the side of a tire. The plug
includes a first plug that plugs the inner opening of the hole formed in a
tire, a
second plug that plugs the outer opening of the hole formed in the tire,
cavities
formed inside the first and second plugs, a check valve-equipped first passage
via
which the cavity and the space inside the tire are communicated with each
other,
a check valve-equipped second passage via which the cavity and the space
outside
the tire are communicated with each other, and an elastic body provided inside
the cavity. In an ordinary running state of the pneumatic tire, a compressive
force acts on the plug in the radical direction of the tire; while in a
running state
thereof given a high load, a tensile force acts on the plug in the radical
direction of
the tire. The elastic body is compressed when the pug is given a compressive
force, and the air inside the cavity is compressed and this is supplied to the
inside
area of the tire. When the plug is given a tensile force, the elastic body
expands
so that air flows into the cavity from the outside area of the tire. For
example,
the composition in the present invention may be used as a material for the
first
plug and the second plug. In addition, the adhesive in the present invention
may
be used in adhering the first plug and the second plug to the hole formed in
the
side of a tire.
[00701
The composition, the adhesive and the adhesive sheet in the present
invention may be used for vulcanization adhesion between an unvulcanized side
rubber and a steel cord-reinforcing layer in adhering the side rubber-
reinforcing
layers of a tire. Using these reduces fluctuation in adhesion strength and
reduces material loss.
The composition, the adhesive, the adhesive sheet and the laminate in the
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
34
present invention can be used for repairing a punctured site of off-the-road
tires
(tires for mine vehicles or tires for construction vehicles). For example, in
repairing an off-the-road tire with vulcanized rubber, the punctured site and
the
vulcanized rubber may be adhered with the composition, the adhesive or the
adhesive sheet in the present invention to repair the site.
The composition, the coating agent and the coating sheet in the present
invention favorably adheres to an adherend, especially to a vulcanized rubber
article to provide a rubber composite, and are therefore usable for coating
for
rubber composite laminates, especially for tires and various industrial rubber
components, for example, rubber hoses, rubber vibration insulators, rubber
belts,
rubber dams, belt conveyors, packings, etc.

[Method for Measurement of Adhesion Force of Cured Adhesive]
The adhesive was applied to two rubber members to be in a thickness of 30
1.1.m thereon, and the coated surfaces were stuck together and cured. For
curing
them, the two members were kept under a pressure of 0.05 MPa at a temperature
of 150 C for 30 minutes. The rubber members were peeled in the direction of
180
degrees at a pulling rate of 50 mm/min to determine the peeling strength (N/25
mm) as an index of the adhesion thereof.
[Method for Measurement of Adhesion Force of Cured Adhesive Sheet]
The adhesive sheet having a thickness of 30 [tm was sandwiched between
rubber members and cured. For curing it, the sheet was kept as such while
pressed under a pressure of 2.5 MPa at a temperature of 150 C for 30 minutes.
The rubber members were peeled in the direction of 180 degrees at a pulling
rate
of 50 mm/min to determine the peeling strength (N/25 mm) as an index of the
adhesion thereof.
Regarding the value of the adhesion force, the force of 100 N/25 mm or
more means a sufficient adhesion force on a level of breakage of the rubber
substrate. The adhesive force is preferably 300 N/25 mm or more. On the other
hand, the force less than 100 N/25 mm means that the reaction between the
substrate and the adhesive is insufficient so that the two are in a state of
peeling
at the interface therebetween, or means that the cohesion force of the
adhesive is
insufficient so that the adhesive itself is under cohesion failure. In those
states,
it could not be said that the adhesion force would be sufficient.

group-containing compound (B) to be incorporated to the total molar ratio of
the
thiol group contained in the polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated
(isocyanate
group/thiol group) was varied, and the relationship between the ratio

In Examples 8 to 14 and Comparative Examples 10 to 18 (adhesive sheet),
the relationship between the ratio (isocyanate group/thiol group) and the
adhesion
force was investigated in the same manner as in the above-mentioned Examples 1
to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9 (adhesive) except that the adhesive sheet
was used in place of the adhesive.
Next, these Examples and Comparative Examples are described
concretely.
[0086]
Examples 1 to 7, Comparative Examples 1 to 9 (adhesive)>
The components were formulated as shown in Table 2 below (in which the
numerical value of each component means part by mass) to give a composition,
and the composition was used as an adhesive.
The resultant adhesive was cured in the manner as above, and the
adhesion force of the cured adhesive was measured in the manner as above. As
the rubber member, used was NR/BR. The results are shown in Table 3.
In Table 2 as well as Table 4, Table 6, Table 8, Table 10 and Table 12, the
thiol functional group concentration means the concentration of the thiol
group
(mmol/g) in the total amount of the constitutive components of the adhesive or
the
adhesive sheet. The NCO functional group concentration means the
concentration of the isocyanate group (mmol/g) in the total amount of the
constitutive components of the adhesive or the adhesive sheet. Further, the
generator concentration means the concentration of the radical generator
(mmol/g) in the total amount of the constitutive components of the adhesive or
the
adhesive sheet. In these, the constitutive components may mutually react with
each other or may decompose, and therefore, the value is one calculated before
such reaction or decomposition of the constitutive components, or that is, the
value is the theoretical value calculated from the amount of each constitutive
component just before actually compounded.

[Evaluation]
As shown in Table 2 to Table 13, with respect to Examples 1 to 70, the
components (A) to (C) were incorporated and the ratio of the total molar
number
of the isocyanate group contained in the component (B) to the total molar
number
of the thiol group contained in the component (A) (isocyanate group/thiol
group)
fell within a range of from 0.2 to 0.78, and therefore the adhesion force was
high.
On the other hand, with respect to Comparative Examples 1 to 8 and 10 to
17, the ratio (isocyanate group/thiol group) was outside the scope of the
present
invention, and therefore the adhesion force was low.
With respect to Comparative Examples 19 and 20, the radical generator
(C) was not incorporated, and therefore, the adhesion force was low.
[0116]
[Production or Rubber Article]
According to the compounding formulation shown in Table 14 below, a
rubber article (100 mm in length x 25 mm in width x 10 mm in thickness) was
produced.
The components were blended as in Table 14 below, and the resulting
mixture was rolled into a sheet having a size of 150 mm in length x 270 mm in
width x 3.4 mm in thickness. Three these sheets were layered, and vulcanized
in
a mold having a size of 150 mm in length x 270 mm in width x 10 mm in
thickness
at 150 C for 45 minutes. The resultant vulcanized body was cut into pieces
each
having a length of 100 mm and a width of 25 mm to prepare samples for

[Method for Measurement of Adhesion Force of Coating Material Obtained
through Coating with Coating Agent]
The coating agent was applied onto the rubber article to provide a
thickness of 30 inn thereon, and the coated surface was cured. The curing mode
was as follows. The coating agent only containing a photoradical generator was
irradiated with UV rays at from 200 to 400 mW/cm2 and at from 1000 to 4000
mJ/cm2. The coating agent only containing a thermal radical generator was kept
under heat at a temperature of 150 C while given a pressure of 0.05 MPa for 30
minutes. The coating agent containing both a photoradical generator and a
thermal radical generator was UV-irradiated at from 200 to 400 mW/cm2 and at
from 500 to 1000 mJ/cm2, and then kept under heat at a temperature of 150 C
while given a pressure of 0.05 MPa for 30 minutes. The resultant coating
material and rubber article were tested for the adhesion force according to
the
cross-cut test method in JIS K5600-5-6. The method is as follows. Using a
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
58
guide, cross-cuts are made in the coating film, an adhesive cellophane tape is
stuck thereto, and then the tape is peeled off at an angle of around 600 and
the
peeling state of the coating film is checked. In one test piece, 5 x 5 = 25
cross-cuts were made in four sites. All the sites were tested, and the number
of
the unpeeled cross-cuts was counted to evaluate the adhesion force.
Evaluation Criteria>
A: 100/100 (No cross-cut peeled.)
B: (80/100) to (99/100)
C: (50/100) to (79/100)
D: (0/100) to (49/100), or immeasurable since the coating material did not
cure.
[Method for Measurement of Adhesion Force of Coating Material Obtained from
Coating Sheet]
The coating sheet having a thickness of 30 jum was adhered to a part of the
surface of the rubber article, and then the coating sheet was cured. The
curing
mode is the same as that for the coating material obtained through coating
with
the coating agent. The adhesion force between the resultant coating material
and the rubber article was measured according to the cross-cut test method in
JIS
K5600-5-6. The method is as follows. Using a guide, cross-cuts are made in the
coating film, an adhesive cellophane tape is stuck thereto, and then the tape
is
peeled off at an angle of around 60 and the peeling state of the coating film
is
checked. In one test piece, 5 x 5 = 25 cross-cuts were made in four sites. All
the
sites were tested, and the number of the unpeeled cross-cuts was counted to
evaluate the adhesion force.
<Evaluation Criteria>
A: 100/100 (No cross-cut peeled.)
B: (80/100) to (99/100)
C: (50/100) to (79/100)
D: (0/100) to (49/100), or immeasurable since the coating material did not
cure.
The samples in which the number of the unpeeled cross-cuts is 80/100 or
more have a sufficient adhesion force not easily causing peeling from the
substrate of the rubber article. Preferred is 100/100.
On the other hand, the level of less than 80/100 means that the reaction
between the substrate of the rubber article and the coating agent is not
sufficient
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
59
and the coating sheet peels at the interface. Under the condition, the
adhesion
force could not be said to be sufficient.
[0119]
[Method for Measurement of Curability of Coating Material]
The surface of the coating material was touched with fingers to check for
the presence or absence of organoleptic tackiness (adhesive feeling) thereon.
good: Not tacky.
bad: Tacky.

[Examples 71 to 77 and Comparative Examples 21 to 27, and Examples 78 to 84
and Comparative Examples 28 to 341
In Examples 71 to 77 and Comparative Examples 21 to 27 (coating
material obtained by coating with coating agent), the ratio of the total molar
number of the isocyanate group contained in the isocyanate group-containing
compound (B) to be incorporated to the total molar number of the thiol group
contained in the polythiol compound (A) to be incorporated (isocyanate
group/thiol
group) was varied, and the relationship between the ratio (isocyanate
group/thiol
group) and the adhesion force to the rubber article, the curability and the
decoration performance was investigated.
In Examples 78 to 84 and Comparative Examples 28 to 34 (coating
material obtained from coating sheet), the relationship between the ratio
(isocyanate group/thiol group) and the adhesion force to the rubber article,
the
curability and the decoration performance was investigated in the same manner
as that in the above-mentioned Examples 71 to 77 and Comparative Examples 21
to 27 (coating material obtained by coating with coating agent) except that
the
coating agent was changed to the coating sheet.
Next, these Examples and Comparative Examples are described
concretely.
[0121]
<Examples 71 to 77 and Comparative Examples 21 to 27 (coating material
obtained by coating with coating agent)>
The components were formulated as shown in Table 15 below (in which
the numerical value of each component means part by mass) to give a coating
composition, and the coating composition was used as a coating agent.
The resultant coating agent was cured in the manner as above, and the
CA 02897484 2015-07-07
adhesion force of the cured coating agent was measured in the manner as above.
As the rubber member, used was the rubber article 1 (NR/BR blend). The results
are shown in Table 18.
In Tables 15, 16 and 17, the thiol functional group concentration means
the concentration of the thiol group (mmol/g) in the total amount of the
coating
agent or in the total amount of the coating sheet. The NCO functional group
concentration means the concentration of the isocyanate group (mmol/g) in the
total amount of the coating agent or in the total amount of the coating sheet.
Further, the generator concentration means the concentration of the radical
generator (mmol/g) in the total amount of the coating agent or in the total
amount
of the coating sheet.
In these, however, the constitutive components may mutually react with
each other or may decompose, and therefore, the value is one calculated before
such reaction or decomposition of the constitutive components, or that is, the
value is the theoretical value calculated from the amount of each constitutive
component just before actually compounded.
[0122]
<Examples 78 to 84 and Comparative Examples 28 to 34 (coating material
obtained from coating sheet)>
As shown in Table 15, in Examples 78 to 84 and Comparative Examples 28

Examples 21 to 27, respectively, were prepared.
The coating agent was applied onto a PET film-made release sheet, and
kept at room temperature for 30 minutes to produce a coating sheet having a
length of 100 mm, a width of 25 mm and a thickness of 30 i_im.
The resultant coating sheet was cured in the manner as above, and also in
the manner as above, the adhesion force of the cured coating sheet was
measured.

[Evaluation]
As shown in Table 15 to Table 26, Examples 78 to 196 contained the
components (A) to (C) and in these, the ratio of the total molar number of the
isocyanate group contained in the component (B) to the total molar number of
the
thiol group contained in the component (A) (isocyanate group/thiol group) fell
within a range of from 0.2 to 0.78, and therefore the adhesion force, the
curability
and the decoration performance in these were all good.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 21 to 114, the ratio
(isocyanate group/thiol group) was less than 0.2 or more than 0.78, or the
component (C) was not used, and therefore the adhesion force was low.
As in the above, according to the production method of the present
invention, the carbon atom in the rubber of the rubber layer kept in contact
with a
coating agent or a coating sheet forms a carbon-sulfur bond with the sulfur
atom
of the thiol group in the polythiol compound (A) that the coating agent or the
coating sheet has, and therefore the coating agent or sheet can exhibit strong
adhesion force to provide a coating material capable of easily and strongly
adhering to the rubber layer not taking any troublesome labor.
Industrial Applicability
[0144]
The composition, the adhesive, the adhesive sheet, the coating agent and
the coating sheet in the present invention can be utilized for favorable
adhesion
and favorable airtight fixation to rubber, especially to vulcanized rubber,
and are
therefore favorable for production of bonded bodies of rubber, especially
vulcanized rubber and various adherends, and are favorable for production of
rubber composites comprising rubber articles, especially vulcanized rubber
articles and coating materials well adhering to each other; and the laminate
of the
present invention is utilizable especially for tires and various industrial
rubber
articles, for example, for rubber hoses, vibration isolator rubbers, rubber
belts,
rubber dams, belt conveyors, packings, etc.
